What do you imagine when we say Slovakia? Hmm… nothing? Maybe our next guest should help you. Andrew Borneman left his home in the USA and came to try life in a small country in the heart of Europe. How did he survive the pandemic here? What places did he visit? How much does he love goulash? And what they survived with Tono you will listen to in this episode.

India is a country like no other — full of contrasts, good food and memorable experiences. Our next guest, Erika Štefanková, will tell us all about it. Apart from working as a programmer during her internship, she also traveled and met various people. What was the culture shock like? Is Indian food the same everywhere? How did she get onto the television? What did she do to sneak into the VIP pool? What is it like to be responsible for exchanges in IAESTE Slovakia? For this, and much more, listen to this episode. Who knows, India could be your next destination.

The nation with the Star of David in the flag is probably everything except boring. Vitor Rosa changed his home in Brazil for a small (like a truly small) apartment in Israel. But an internship is not just about work, it is also about having some fun. There are only two things that our guest knows for sure - one is how to find an adventure and the other one is how to find a good party. Most importantly for us, he surely has what it takes to tell an incredible story of his trip to Haifa.

What is hidden in the wild asian steppes of Kazakhstan? In this episode our guest Christian Pyerin will tell you his stories from there. You will learn more about people living the way their ancestors used to, making friends in the places too far away from the popular tourist destinations and, of course, tasting the horse milk (kumis) - the traditional kazakh drink. We will also discuss the way travelling and participating in international programmes can help you get even more experience abroad.

The way to the best sights might be tough, but our guest Linda Kolb is up for the challenge. Come and listen to the tale of her adventures in Chile, the southern american country that is shaped like a chilli pepper. From the coldest nights to the hottest barbecues with her colleagues, who cannot distinguish Austria from Australia, there is a lot to talk about. We will also discuss her living after that life-changing internship: her activities in IAESTE Austria and her professional growth.
